Course contents
The study plan covers the general education that any
Bachelor’s degree is required to teach by law. This is an
advantage for students aiming to enter the teaching labour www.uah.es/filosofiayletras
market. A good general grounding in History will enhance
the academic background required for teachers in pre-
university teaching. However, the general training is no
hindrance to students being able to take a range of subjects
structured in tracks as part of the proposed structure of the
Bachelor’s degree, and is no obstacle to the specialisation
required by law in postgraduate courses, which involves a
more intense and in-depth knowledge of certain aspects
of historical issues. Students in the Bachelor’s Degree
of History have at the end of this degree the opportunity
to specialise in a specific field within historical studies,
which they have had the opportunity to discover during the
teaching of the obligatory and basic subjects in the first three INFORMATION CENTRE
years of the Bachelor’s Degree.
As a result, History graduates obtain training that provides
them with the best teaching environment and with the opti-

mum skills to take subsequent courses and to work profes-
sionally.
